Bill Russell joined the Celtics with the 1956-57 season already in progress, and soon led the league in average rebounds per game. With Russell on board, the Celtics easily made it to the NBA finals, facing off against the St. Louis Hawks. After six games, the tournament was deadlocked. In the decisive seventh game, Russell made one of the most famous plays in basketball history, the so-called “Coleman Play,” bounding with lightning speed from baseline to midcourt to block a shot by Hawks guard Jack Coleman. Russell’s teammate, Bob Cousy, remembered it as “the greatest physical act I’ve ever seen on a basketball floor.” The Celtics won the game 125 to 123, securing their first NBA Championship.
Tweet A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with—that’s poverty—but how efficiently we can put first things first. . . .

Tweet You’re not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have. – Oscar Pistorius My parents didn’t give me any scope to feel sorry for myself. They were just like ‘go play with your brother, go climb a tree, go fall off your motorbike, do whatever you want. [...]
Tweet OF COURSE what we have a right to expect of the American boy is that he shall turn out to be a good American man. Now, the chances are strong that he won’t be much of a man unless he is a good deal of a boy. He must not be a coward or [...]
There is always a tendency among very young men and among boys who are not quite youngmen as yet to think that to be wicked is rather smart; to think it shows that they are men. Oh,how often you see some young fellow who boasts that he is going to “see life,” meaning bythat that he is going to see that part of life which it is a thousandfold better should remainunseen! I ask that every man here constitute himself his brother’s keeper by setting anexample to that younger brother which will prevent him from getting such a false estimate of life.

No human being could fail to be deeply moved by such a tribute as this [Thayer Award]. Coming from a profession I have served so long, and a people I have loved so well, it fills me with an emotion I cannot express.

That I should be integrated in this way with so noble an ideal arouses a sense of pride and yet of humility which will be with me always
